Was Western Kentucky’s defensive effort against Middle Tennessee the best it’s been all season?
“Definitely,” Lady Toppers coach Michelle Clark-Heard said following her team’s 57-43 win against Middle Tennessee on Thursday night. “I’m really proud that they took the challenge. They were only averaging 58 points, and I talked to them about holding them to a certain amount of points."
The Lady Toppers (10-4 overall, 1-0 Conference USA) started the C-USA slate on a dominant note by limiting Middle Tennessee to two field goals in the first half and 32.5 percent clip from the floor all night – a number that drastically improved with the Lady Raiders shooting 7-of-15 (.
